"They went to Finland."

Translation: De åkte till Finland.

[Staira1]

Since it is not impossible, shouldn’t De gick till Finland be accepted? Mine was not.

[Ethanxman]

Does "de gick till Finland," work?

[Arnauti]

Only if they went on foot.

[Matt92HUN]

What if they are Sami reindeer herders?

[Jan-Olav]

From Haparanda to Torneå for instance :)

[Metlieb]

Well, couple of years ago I met someone in my hometown who apparently was traveling by foot from Helsinki to Paris.

[Xango222]

Or from Russia...

[JamesTWils]

So, de gick till stranden only on foot?

[Arnauti]

Yup. Otherwise åkte.

[CheekyPiglet]
